Wanna be fast like Marquez? Want to learn how to get your elbow down on the track? Want to ride loose, rub paint, and slam into Lorenzo every once in a while? Can't really help you out there, but you can always dream!

We've seen Marky Marq lost in translation before and to be honest, I've never really understood why a black ant is so cool, but who cares? If you ride with the bravado of Marquez and like to crash at 200mph in your spare time, any symbol will do just fine! With a sleek matte finish and the 2013 champ's "93" emblazoned on the side, you'll make any ant hill proud. We recommend obtaining the Shoei RF-1200 Marquez Black Ant Helmet just to heighten the experience of watching this years races. Watching the race from inside Marc's helmet, whether it be on TV or in person, is an unparalleled experience.

In case you were an ant living under a rock these past few months, here is what you should know about the new Shoei RF-1200 model:

Slimmer and lighter than the RF-1100

Better fit and feel to the AIM+ Shell

Quieter and more Aerodynamic

Re-designed ventilation from shell down to EPS

Maybe the Wunderkind's luck will run out; maybe Lorenzo will swipe the pavement out from under him; or maybe, just maybe, he'll be even faster this year!
